I submitted this position paper about the WISC IV

And the testing/psych person for our district did enter DD's GAI. I think she would have qualified based on her FSIQ but the GAI was 15 points higher and gave her a stronger case for needing to be in a certain program. Now that guy is gone and they claim they will accept FSIQ results...no one understands the WISC. We used outside scores and normally they use the CogAT.

In terms of the PRI score, DS had a scatter with 19, 18, and 13 (block design being lowest) and in his case I think he did worse on block design because it is timed and he has poor fine motor skills. I'm not sure what would bring down a PC score though compared to Matrix Reasoning. My kids both had similar scores on those two subtests (18-19 with block design being lower, 13 for DS and 16 for DD). Did he do well on the processing speed subtests?
